We are user experience designers; professional innovators creating solutions for real-world problems. We're tuned to understanding people's needs, and much of our job involves balancing these user needs against those of our clients' business. But look wider - at the financial, ecological and sociological crises that affect our society in large and small ways. Perhaps there is a third set of needs to keep in balance; ethical needs. This presentation is about how to adopt a new awareness to add human and ethical strand into our everyday work. Just as large companies now consider 'corporate social responsibility' part of 'business as usual', so we as a designers can incorporate ethical social innovation into our work, and in doing so help our company and clients to be more sensitive to the wider needs of people (not users). I will share ideas and trends from science, business, social innovators and philosophers to help you introduce Universal Responsibility into your understanding of problems, so you can go a step ahead and design for good. You already recycle, support local trade, maybe even volunteer in your community. I now invite you to introduce such ethical values into your design and work. It's not easy, but it's inspiring rewarding, and leads to a better world and happy people!

- “The “Common Welfare Economy” provides the basic elements of an alternative economic framework. It encompasses three approaches:\n| Market values and social values should no longer oppose each other. The same values that contribute to fulfilling interpersonal relationships should be rewarded in the economy.\n| Conformity with the constitution.The economy should function in accordance with the values and objectives established by the constitutions of western democracies, which is currently not the case. \n| Economic success should no longer be measured with monetary indicators (financial profit, GDP), but by what is really important, i.e. utility values (basic needs, quality of life, communal values).   The first draft of this model, including the Common Welfare Balance Sheet, was developed between 2009 and 2010 by a dozen entrepreneurs from Austria.   Practical Implementation In the fiscal year 2011, 60 companies in three countries created the Common Welfare Balance Sheet.”\n
